California. And I'm not entirely sure. The emails went to my mother, so I didn't hear too much about it until they terminated our contract.
My father got us kicked off our ISP for downloading music from random public trackers.
I've been on private ones for years and never gotten a warning.
I second the super micro picks. They are relatively cheap and super reliable.
Currently I run a 36 bay 4u supermicro server. It runs unraid because I'm lazy and it seems to handle the mismatched disks really well. Most of my stuff is now docker containers out of laziness. But I prefer VMs for production services. I built this box to also be able to handle external SAS cards in case I need to add another shelf. But I really wish unraid would support multiple pools of their main storage type. But I hope to replace all my disks with 22tb before I get to the next shelf.
I used to run a 7 node ceph server for my storage. Which has a ton of benefits going into data warehouse stages. But it ended up being more frustrating than I needed. At least 5 years ago when I was running it.
Even perma seeding, redacted is hard. There really aren't enough seeders to make it worthwhile. You basically need to do what you can to get free leech tokens and then use them wisely.
Lidarr can tank your ratio quick and the time it takes to upload the same amount can be months. Soulseek is another option to help build out your library. But I don't know if it can be combined with lidarr.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great site and I love it. I just don't think it's a good fit for lidarr.
I've had to put up a lot of obscure music from local bands to keep my ratio on redacted. As someone who has been torrenting for decades, it's not an easy site.
It's a great site. So if you can get in, do so. But I wouldn't use it to fill lidarr, it will kill your ratio and get you banned. It supplements my Usenet for bands that I REALLY want to have now.

I personally find my ADHD meds exhausting. Like, yes I need them. But when the week is up I feel a little exhausted with everything I've had to keep up with. I don't see them as fun, but I know other people do. They just make me function and I really try to take as little as I can get away with and still be a functional person.
